Generesta, like many other companies, is facing an acute imbalance in its human resource with the proportion of women in the workforce averaging at 26%, which is largely composed of subordinate staffs and only a few women in the corporate boardroom. Women make up only 14% of the 298 technical and professional staff in the company and slightly more than half (51%) of the 533 corporate support workers. Only 10% of the company’s leadership consists of women. In all these areas, Generesta falls below the Canadian Human resource averages. For example, only 26% of its entire workforce consists of women compared to 61.4% of the Canadian women who form part of the country’s workforce (Statistics Canada, 2013). In addition, the ratio of women to men in leadership positions at the company is 1:9 compared to the country’s ratio of nearly 1:2 (Statistics Canada, 2013). The corporate female students at Generesta consist of 35% women compared to 56.1% of the women enrolled in post-secondary programs throughout the country (Statistics Canada, 2013).
Wine Spectator Magazine The Wine Spectator magazine’s audience is wine lovers, who range from people who purchase wine for consumption in their houses, general sellers and the hotel industry (Azzurro et al., 2017). The consumers of wine comprise mainly of people with a household annual income of at least thrice the national median, which is about $126,000. Their individual income is at least $100,000 per year. The magazine’s readers are generally aged above 35 years, when income is expected to be stable in high amounts. Such people use liquor to limited extents as wine is associated with class and healthy living. The readers consist of more males than females as there are more rich men in the United States than women. Generally, such people are in business as opposed to employment.
The essays by Rebecca Solnit and Deborah Tannen provide significant accounts of the travails that females experience during their daily lives due to the prevailing notions that men and women have regarding gender. For instance, Tannen’s essay, “Can’t We Talk?” reveals a substantial tendency that presents women in a way that compromises feminist projects. Conversely, Solnit’s essay, “Men who explain things” concentrates on the need that males feel for a specific masculine exhibitionism brand. The author asserts that men do so with women to stroke their ego (Solnit 1). With that said, Tannen demonstrates that both men and women learn their fundamental communication as children because they focus on each other to understand the way they behave towards themselves. Both Solnit and Tannen address various situations where individuals fail to comprehend and communicate to each other. The essays above present different assumptions that many males make and this reveals their prejudices that are grounded on their belief that females are less knowledgeable.
Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. It was not my intention to take the floor; however the question is “Have you ever thought of how to communicate with animals”? Well, I seem to have a response which I want to share it with you today. There is an old saying that “A dog is a man’s best friend.” So, how would you make a dog or any other animal, your best friend if you do not know how to communicate with animals? Another saying states that “You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink” Today, I want to give everyone present an opportunity to learn how to communicate with animals, and after this speech, it is upon you to make use of the advice given. As lovers of animals, it is crucial that we learn how to observe them, how they use their eyes, ears, face, tails if they have one, posture, and other parts of their bodies to convey feelings. Indeed, when we become observant we would easily know when they are feeling unwell, sad or happy. For instance, a dog could wag its tail to indicate happiness.
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a therapy which relies on science of learning and behavior. Such an analysis is important in understanding how works, how it affected by the environment and the mechanisms involved in the learning process. The ABA therapy is based on the understanding of behavioral patterns in real situations. Autism refers to a condition of neural development disorder that is characterized by a compromised social and communication interfaces as well as repetitive and limited behavior. These characteristics are noticeable in a child before he or she attains three years of age. Autism affects the information processing capabilities of the brain by reorganizing the nerve cell connections and their synapses. Nevertheless, the description of how this procedure takes place is not copiously comprehended. The two autism spectrum disorders (ASD) include PDD-NOS and Asperger syndrome (Miltenberger, 2016). While the former is diagnosed when the full criteria for the other conditions fail to be met, the latter is diagnosed by the delays in the cognitive development.
Background Energy is a critical factor in our lives. Over the years, the need to embrace clean and sustainable sources of energy has increased. For many years people have relied on fossil fuels and electricity for heating water for domestic and industrial use. Fossil fuel was expensive with a lot of adverse effects on the environment, prompting the development of alternative water heating techniques. Advancement in technology has resulted in the development of electric water heating systems. Electricity is a clean source of energy. With the increased population, the demand for electricity went up surpassing the available supply. Many houses that relied on electricity were inconvenienced with constant power outages due to increased demand that resulted in rationing of electric supply to homes. As demand increased, the cost of electric power also went up. Many people could spend a lot on electricity bills which affected their financial wellbeing prompting the research for alternative water heating methods to cut on the energy cost. People tried to heat water directly by exposing it to the sun, which worked well, but not as efficiently as the people desired. The United Kingdom is a developed nation with well-established industries ventured in studies to establish…
Reading comprehension has always been one of the basic language skills that is taught both to native and nonnative speakers. In the past, educators employed traditional methods, that is, those which did not require any additional materials except for the text. Recently, with the rise of technologies in the classroom has added new strategies for teaching reading comprehension skills. Apart from facilitating the learning process, technologies prove to create difficulties for teachers, who are nowadays required to know to use ICT (information and communication technology) but often lack the necessary skills. There is little information about educators’ perception of their competence in using ICT for introducing reading comprehension strategies; hence, this question needs to be properly studied to find out what modern teachers think about their technological skills and whether they find the latter useful for their work.
The environment plays an essential role in the survival of humanity hence the rise of protection agencies against environmental destruction. Global environmental governance is the process of regulating the process of global environmental protection. Global environmental governance is a combination of organizations, procedures, financing mechanisms, rules, policy instruments, and norms. There are various organizations that directly or indirectly aid in global environmental governance; the organization can be local or international such as amnesty international. Such organizations help protect the environment in various ways; through directly getting involved in the protection of the environment or protecting those who protect the environment. Despite the aid given by these organizations, there tend to be weaknesses; areas the organization can improve on to be more efficient in environmental protection. The shortcomings of the organizations can be improved and in the process, allow the organization offers better environment protection and governance.
In recent weeks, media outlets have published numerous articles and editorials announcing the issue of labor shortage in the world of primary and secondary education in Quebec. The supporting data allows one to conclude that banks of deputies are merging visibly and that regular ranks are becoming increasingly sparse. According to university faculties of education, there have been significant declines in enrollment. This imbalance is not temporary. However, the waves of retirements among baby boomers do not do much in the way of explaining why this phenomenon is like so. Researchers have cited various factors in an attempt to shed some light on this worrying situation, especially in the secondary education stream (Radio-Canada, January 25, 2019). The lack of attractiveness of a profession can be attributed to factors such as; low wages with some being among the lowest in Canada, increased difficulty in teaching as a result of too many students in the classroom, increased tasks since the wind d austerity. Some additional reasons include chronic instability, obsolete school infrastructures, parents with little solidarity when it comes time to value the authority of teachers with their children, etc.
Introduction The colonies denied the Americans their rights and it is these rights that they fought to attain. Americans were mistreated, denied the right to freedom suffered inequality and tolerated a religion that came with the British colonies. The ideas of the American Revolution were born through enlightenment. Enlightenment explored the ideas of empowerment, reasonability, and reciprocity. Enlightenment was hence the age of reason, intellectuals, and philosophers who channeled freedom in American from its colonies. As an intellectual Enlightenment movement, it used religious tolerance, freedom of speech, freedom of press and equality to win against the British colonies. To become their own, the Americans had to use enlightenment in order to overcome the colonies. The leaders who led the Enlightenment sought to acquire freedom by demanding freedom changes that would be beneficial to them in the future. Prominent figures of the Revolutionary War argued for a revolt against English tyrannical rule through presenting how the inequality of the monarchical system violated ideas of Enlightenment thought of which American ideals were built including the natural rights of man, self-determination, and freedom of speech.
